Introduction The Purpose of this Report 1.1 This screening report is an assessment of whether the Walkeringham Neighbourhood Plan requires a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in accordance with the European Directive 2001/42/ EC and associated Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations. A SEA is required if the Neighbourhood Plan is likely to have a significant effect on the environment. 1.2 This report will also screen to determine whether the Neighbourhood Plan requires a Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) in accordance with Article 6(3) and (4) of the EU Habitats Directive and with Regulation 63 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. A HRA is required when it is deemed that likely adverse significant effects may occur on protected Habitats (Natura 2000) sites, as a result of the implementation of a plan or project. 1.3 This report is an updated version of that initially issued in Spring 2019. The revisions reflect changes that have been made to the emerging Walkeringham Neighbourhood Plan subsequent to the regulation 14 consultation (22nd February to 18th April 2019). Amendments to Policy 6 have seen the removal of the specific allocation of the former Walkeringham Brickworks site and incorporation of added protections into the policy wording. These changes have impacted upon the assessment for SEA Topics Biodiversity, flora and fauna and Cultural Heritage (see Appendix 1 of this report). Amendments to the site allocations have also been made, with the effect of reducing the number of allocated sites from 12 to 9. Although this reduces the anticipated numbers of dwellings to be delivered on allocated sites, the overall number of dwellings expected to be delivered by the plan remains the same at 70. The only changes made in this report on this matter are in respect to policy numbers and names, with no changes expected in respect to impact. 1.4 The Draft Screening Report was sent to the environmental bodies (Historic England, the Environment Agency and Natural England) for their consideration. All three bodies have made comments (Appendix 5) and this final version of the Screening Report incorporates their views. 1 2. The Walkeringham Neighbourhood Plan Name of Qualifying Body and Local Planning Authority 2.1 The qualifying body preparing the Walkeringham Neighbourhood Plan is Walkeringham Parish Council. The Local Planning Authority is Bassetlaw District Council. Location and spatial extent of the Walkeringham Neighbourhood Plan 2.2 The Walkeringham Neighbourhood Plan covers the Walkeringham Neighbourhood Area, comprising the parish of Walkeringham in Nottinghamshire. 2.3 Walkeringham Parish is in north Nottinghamshire, in the north-eastern part of Bassetlaw District. The Parish has an area of 1,210.76 hectares and the village of Walkeringham is located at the centre of the Parish between two roads, the A161 and B1403. The village lies about 3.26 miles (5.25km) north-west of Gainsborough. 2.4 Main access to the village is along the A161 which runs north-south and connects Walkeringham with Misterton to the north and with Beckingham to the south-east. The B1403 runs into the village from the west connecting the village with Misterton and Gringley on the Hill to the south-west. Walkeringham offers
